Forever Forward

Our stories like tattoos

Like a scar on our heart, it's still a part of you

For so long, I was ashamed of mine, mm

But I don't have to move on

I write it down in the words of a new song

Like silver or gold heated by a fire

Yeah, I'm better and better with time

For every fallin' star, for every broken heart

For every minute that I'm in it and I fall apart

Breathe in the next breath, don't listen to regret

My story's not finished and I'm not done yet

I can build up a wall and try to shut it out

It's just a matter of time before it falls down

All out of order, it's just brick and mortar

I gotta keep movin' forever forward

The journey down life's road

So many curves and swerves and broken potholes

But there's beauty in takin' the long way

Yeah, I've seen it enough to say

For every fallin' star, for every broken heart

For every minute that I'm in it and I fall apart

Breathe in the next breath, don't listen to regret

My story's not finished and I'm not done yet

I can build up a wall and try to shut it out

It's just a matter of time before it falls down

All out of order, it's just brick and mortar

I gotta keep movin' forever forward

No, the past don't define me, it refines me

The smiles and the tears put the life in the years

And now I finally see

For every fallin' star, for every broken heart

For every minute that you're in it and it falls apart

Breathe in the next breath, don't listen to regret

Your story's not finished and you're not done yet

I can build up a wall and try to shut it out

It's just a matter of time before it falls down

All out of order, it's just brick and mortar

I gotta keep movin' forever forward

So keep on movin' forever forward, mm

Forever forward
